How to Beat Contagion Mode
Master All Techniques
You have to master all the techniques in the game, like using the GRP, dodging, blocking, and more, to survive in Contagion Mode. You can go on Minimum Security difficulty and practice with weaker enemies first before taking on the Contagion Mode.
Memorize Every Part
When playing in Contagion Mode, you are basically doing a deathless gameplay, as you will have to start over when you die. Memorize every nook, enemy spawn, chest, and item if you want to survive without dying in this hellish game mode.
Avoid Enemies if Possible
If you can help it, try to avoid combat and sneak past enemies to progress. Since there is no guarantee for enemies to drop Ammo, Health Packs, or Credits, it is better to bet safely and steer clear of the enemies.
Turn On All Combat Assist Options
| Settings | Options |
|---|---|
| Aim Assist | ON |
| Aim Assist Strength | 3 |
| Auto Aim | ON |
| Auto Dodge | ON |
| Melee Assist | ON |
| Button Hold Assist | ON |
| QTE Single Press | ON |
| QTE Auto Complete | ON |
You can survive better in the unforgiving environment of the Contagion Mode by turning on all combat assist options. Enabling everything won't let you fear any combat encounters with the enemies in the game. However, you can still die if you're careless, even if all the combat assist options are active, so proceed with caution still.
If you want to finish the game the hard way, you can always set them off and be on your own!
Unlock All Upgrades Through New Game+
Contagion Mode will come out a little bit later than the New Game Plus. You can use that time window to farm and upgrade all your weapons to the max to make it a little bit easier to finish the game on Contagion Mode.
